In medical manufacturing, tiny flaws easily become liabilities. Whether you’re measuring catheters, guidewires, or micro-sized anything, you need inspection tools that don’t blink. Our laser & ultrasonic medical tubing measurement systems deliver precise, real-time data right where you need it: inline, in the cleanroom, or in QA. Built for FDA compliance.
Gauge Advisor is the official sales and service partner for LaserLinc , the U.S. manufacturer of precision laser and ultrasonic measurement systems for medical tubing, guidewires, and components used in FDA-compliant production and validation environments.
Tell us your tubing dimensions or application and we will recommend the right LaserLinc system. We will also provide pricing and lead times. Need us to test samples? We can do that too.

The medical industry’s go-to solution for good reason. Benchtop dual and triple-axis micrometers reveal variations hand tools miss: fast, accurate, and operator-proof. Dual & triple axis micrometer OD measurement range: 0.00158” (0.04mm) – 4.5” (114mm)
Still using calipers and microscopes like it’s 1999? Cut your sample, load it onto the BenchLinc OD/ID/Wall system, and get full outer diameter, inner diameter, and wall thickness data in seconds. Perfect for post-extrusion QA or validation checks.
Manually checking a 160cm catheter by hand? Sounds fun. Let the Metron system scan the entire part automatically while rotating it. Get a complete proximal/body/distal profile you can actually use. Zero operator error. Supports part lengths up to 72” (
For nitinol tubing, stainless-steel hypotubes, and coiled cannulas, the BenchLincUT provides concentricity, wall thickness, and full dimensional analysis. Supports lab testing, lot release, and incoming inspection. If you’re unsure whether your product’s dimensions are compatible, you can check them using our Ultrasonic Transducer Selector tool.
FlawSense pairs OD measurement with high-speed laser triangulation sensors to detect surface defects, scratches, inclusions, and foreign material. All in real time. A go-to solution for final inspection.
Control diameter, ovality, wall, and concentricity in real time. Send feedback upstream to extruders or downstream to cutters, blow-offs, or deflectors.
Use UltraGauge+ for in-line ultrasonic wall measurement. Measure as thin as 0.001 inches (25 microns) in polymers or 0.003 inches (75 microns) in NiTi stent tubing. If you’re unsure whether your product’s dimensions are compatible, you can check them using our Ultrasonic Transducer Selector tool.
Laser micrometers record diameter and ovality with sub-micron precision. Use as a standalone dimensional inspection tool or integrate with PLCs for closed-loop control. Need help choosing reference pins for routine verification? Our Calibration Pin Selector tool can guide you.
Verify dimensions once the tube has cooled and stabilized. Cut a short sample and use BenchLinc OD/ID/Wall to get instant measurements. Send offsets back to the line.
FlawSense inspects for surface flaws like gels, voids, inclusions, and edge defects while also tracking OD trends. Supports catheter extrusion, balloon tubing, and medical micro-extrusion lines.
Inline OD, wall, and concentricity measurement.
Offline OD/ID/wall validation for QA and first-article inspection
Non-contact scanning up to 72” for uniformity and taper, proximal, and distal tip validation
Concentricity and wall thickness measurement for stents, cannulas, and structural components
Rigid or semi-rigid tubing inspection with ID/OD/Wall and optical surface flaw detection
Diameter consistency and defect detection during forming or coating
Inline OD measurement with specialized “bump and taper” software.
High-resolution surface inspection to catch delamination, streaks, and inclusions
Lab-based benchtop systems for coating thickness and defect scans
Spot-checking raw tubing or vendor parts before production
Benchtop systems used in cleanroom or lab settings to validate new designs
Measurement logs and trend data support traceability and FDA documentation (IQ/OQ/PQ).
Watch product demos to see how LaserLinc provides continuous, FDA-compliant ID/OD, Wall Thickness, and Defect Inspection for Quality Control.
Our medical tubing measurement systems are optimized for every stage of quality control from QA/QC labs to high-speed Production and Extrusion environments. Use this chart to quickly find the perfect gauge, whether you need continuous measurement during extrusion, precise quality control on short samples (under 5"), or full-length scanning for finished products like catheters and guidewires.
